The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.

Swift is a very new programming language, it was created by Apple and used up to 3 versions only on iOS devices, but from Swift 3 onwards, Apple has chosen to open up the language so it can be run on other platforms such as Linux and Windows It makes Swift itself a very strong language where you can work with iOS, macOS, linux and windows in the same language.

Apple has focused on making the language relatively easy to read and understand the Swift syntax and must admit that they have done well if you come from the C lines programming language.
